Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs, must be fresh.
- 2-3 tablespoons Distilled Vinegar (can use flavoured vinegar or substitute with lemon juice, it should work).
- 2 slices bread of your choice (baguette, ciabatta, English muffins, French loaf slices).
- Some cold cuts, bacon or smoked salmon (we used pan-fried spam or luncheon meat).
- If you’re cooking this as a treat for someone special, a spoonful of caviar may just do the trick
- *500ml White Wine Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Peppercorn
- 1 bunch Tarragon
- 3 large fresh Egg Yolks (60g and above)
- 200ml melted and skimmed unsalted butter
- A squeeze of fresh Lemon Juice
Instructions
Method for hollandaise sauce recipe gordon ramsay:
- In a deep saucepan, bring 2 litres of water to the boil and add the vinegar (or lemon juice). Break the eggs into 2 separate small bowls (or one at a time into the bowl just before cooking while waiting for water to “re-boil”).
- Slice whatever bread you are using (we used baguette and ciabatta on different occasions). Spread each half with unsalted butter and a slice of tasty cheddar (optional) and toast them till cheese melts. Warm some plates using hot water and dry off or keep them in oven’s warming drawer.
- When the pot of water begins to “roll” (not fast boiling), swirl the vinegared water briskly to form a vortex and slide in an egg. It will curl round and set to a neat round shape. Cook for 2-3 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon. Cook one egg at a time, re-swirling the water as you slide in the egg.
- Spread some butter on each half of the bread, add a slice of ham (smoked salmon, bacon, etc… we used pan-fried luncheon meat), then top with an egg. Spoon over the hollandaise and serve at once.
Method for Hollandaise:
- Boil the vinegar together with peppercorns and tarragon, reduce by half. Strain and reserve.
- Boil a large pan of water, then reduce to a simmer. Using a large balloon whisk, beat together the yolks and 2 tsp of the reduced wine vinegar in a heatproof bowl that fits snugly over the pan.
- Beat vigorously until the mixture forms a foam, but make sure that it doesn’t get too hot. To prevent the sauce from overheating, take it on and off the heat while you whisk, scraping around the sides with a plastic spatula. The aim is to achieve a golden, airy foam (called a sabayon), which forms ribbons when the whisk is lifted.
- Whisk in a small ladle of the warmed butter, a little at a time, then return the bowl over a gentle heat to cook a little more. Remove from the heat again and whisk in another ladle of butter. Repeat until all the butter is incorporated and you have a texture as thick as mayonnaise. Finally, whisk in lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste plus a little warm water from the pan if the mixture is too thick.
Notes
Curdling Tip:
If the sauce mixture starts to ‘split’ or curdle, immediately scrape the mixture into a clean bowl and whisk in 1 tbsp ice-cold water, then continue whisking in the remaining butter just a ladleful at a time.* Plan to cook beef or salmon steaks the same day and keep leftover sauce for them. Yummy!
